Objectives
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
THE COURSE INTRODUCES STUDENTS TO MODELS, METHODS AND MEASURES USED IN THE DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS. THE COURSE WILL START WITH FOUNDATIONAL TOPICS INCLUDING HISTORICAL CONTEXT, THE HUMAN FACTOR AND INTERACTION ELEMENTS. IN ADDITION, WE WILL DEEPEN THE METHODS FOR CONDUCTING AN EXPERIMENT TO EVALUATE A NEW COMPUTER INTERFACE OR INTERACTION TECHNIQUE.
APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
THE THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED IN THE DIFFERENT DISCIPLINES AND THE ANALYSIS OF CASE STUDIES WILL ALLOW THE STUDENT TO DESIGN, IMPLEMENT AND EVALUATE USER INTERFACES. IN PARTICULAR, MOST OF THE APPLICATIONS WILL BE DEVELOPED ON THE ANDROID PLATFORM AND ON MOBILE DEVICES SUCH AS SMARTPHONES AND TABLETS.
MAKING JUDGEMENTS
THE STUDENTS WILL BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO AUTONOMOUSLY CHOOSE THE STRATEGIES FOR DESIGNING AND IMPLEMENTING AN INTERACTIVE SYSTEM, BY JUDICIOUSLY EVALUATING THEIR PROS AND CONS.
COMMUNICATION
THE COURSE AIMS TO DEVELOP STUDENT’S ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE WITH INSTRUCTOR AND COLLEAGUES BOTH IN CLASS AND THROUGH E-LEARNING TOOLS. STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF GROUP PROJECTS, BY EXCHANGING IDEAS AND DURING THE PRESENTATION OF THEIR WORK. OTHER IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITIES FOR INTERACTION WILL BE REPRESENTED BY THE ORGANIZATION AND PARTICIPATION IN EXPERIMENTS WITH USERS.
LIFELONG LEARNING SKILLS
IN ADDITION TO TEXTBOOKS, STUDENTS CAN CONSULT THE MAIN DIGITAL LIBRARIES CONTAINING THE SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE IN THE FIELD, IN ORDER TO ENRICH THE ACQUIRED SKILLS AND APPLY THOSE SKILLS TO OTHER COURSES.
Prerequisites
BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF ALGORITHMS, DATA STRUCTURES AND HIGH-LEVEL PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES, PARTICULARLY JAVA, ARE RECOMMENDED.
